Anna is always so helpful with opening presents. After we did that, we headed out for a special breakfast at one of our favorite morning spots. We headed out to Grandma at the Lake in the late afternoon for more celebrating. Matt got a card with some cash in it. As soon as Matt opened the card, Anna snatched the money out! She knows what's important!
After going out for supper, we had a special birthday dessert at Grandma's house.
We celebrated David and Jolynn's 8th anniversary, too!
They did fireworks that night over the lake. We took the fishing boat out to enjoy them. Since it gets dark so late here, Anna was getting pretty tired before we even set out. She ended falling asleep about 5 minutes before the fireworks started and slept through the whole show.
We slept overnight at the lake so that we could have another special birthday breakfast. Grandma's birthday is today. Anna had fun helping decorating the cake. (We actually ate some of the cake last night after fireworks, but saved the candle-lighting and birthday singing until this morning.)
This afternoon we went to a 4th of July parade in East Grand Rapids. It was a nice parade, but Anna didn't really get to watch too much of it. She was too busy picking up tons of candy!
If we're not too tired tonight, we may head back to East GR to watch fireworks over Reed's Lake. What a wonderful time we've had celebrating David's and Jolynn's anniversary, and birthdays for Matt, Grandma and our great country!
